Rep. Trey Gowdy
Speaking out against the contraceptive mandate, South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy accused the president of winning the election by misleading women voters.
�œThe president knows he is not going to win this case. But what he did win was an election. He won election in part by deceiving women and the so-called war on women,” Gowdy said Wednesday on Fox News�™s �œOn the Record.”
�œHe knows he is not going to win this in Supreme Court, but he won in 2012. That was his real objective.”
The Republican congressman�™s comments follow news this week that the Supreme Court will take on two cases reviewing the contraception mandate in Obamacare that requires most employers to provide such coverage in their health insurance plans.
Gowdy, who has been critical of the Affordable Care Act, said the mandate violates religious rights and slammed President Barack Obama for playing politics.
�œThis is not even a close case. You can�™t require people to violate their religious beliefs,” Gowdy said. �œThis isn�™t about the constitution to him it�™s about politics.” POLITICO
